Fix dark theme, animation speed, kitty opacity; add README

- libadwaita apps (nautilus, gnome-text-editor) rendered light because
  gsettings-desktop-schemas + dconf were missing, so the color-scheme
  prefer-dark autostart silently no-op'd. Add both packages.
- Replace Hyprland's slow default animations with the reference laptop's
  bezier curves + per-leaf speeds (hl.curve + hl.animation).
- kitty background_opacity 0.88 -> 0.6 to match the laptop; drop the
  macOS-only background_blur line (Hyprland supplies the blur).
- Add README.md documenting the actual image, build, and test flow.
